Aerial Lift Overturns Killing One Worker, Injuring Another

At approximately 8:05 a.m. on June 16, 2006, Employees #1 and #2 were working at a facility that was a warehouse. A wine bottling line was being installed. The two employees were using a Snorkel S1930 Scissor Lift at a platform height of 18.7 feet. The employees worked for Amteck of Kentucky Inc., an electrical contractor. They were guiding 480 volt, 3-phase wiring into a ceiling-mounted conduit that was installed at a height of 22 ft. Wiring was being pulled over the siderail of the lift, which caused the lift to overturn. Employee #1 suffered head trauma and was killed. Employee #2 was hospitalized with a fractured pelvis.
